Big Bear Youth Baseball sign-ups are underway for the spring season, which will get started with tryouts at North Shore Elementary on Saturday, March 13. There will be after-school signups at each of the three elementaries this month, as well as sign-up opportunities at Kmart from 10am to 2pm on Saturdays through March 6.

The family of Ted Fashempour has rescheduled his memorial service, which will now be held on Saturday, March 6 at 1pm at the Big Bear Lake Performing Arts Center. Fashempour, owner of the Little Green House Florist with wife Paula, passed away on January 2 and the memorial originally scheduled for January 24 was postponed due to severe snow that week.
